Abstract: Smart Clothes Drying System (sCDs) is a specially designed of mini movable closet with complete integrated smart system to utilize the waste heat dissipated by condensing unit of split residential air conditioner for clothes drying purpose whilst using in the night time. Meanwhile, in the day time the system is easily push-able to sun-lighting areas in order to utilize the sunlight as well as the air flow as the two main drying agents just like our current conventional method of drying clothes today. The system shall automatically close and secured the clothes once the sensors triggered few droplets of rains. From the result of comparison made between conventional drying method andsCDs, there was significant reduction of drying duration up to 40% with sCDs in the night time by utilizing the waste heat from condensing unit of split residential air conditioner. Ultimately, with this newly system makes drying clothes is now more flexible, energy saving and easier than before.
